Up arrow just feels right. If I can satisfy my goal just by tapping one button repeatedly vs not doing that. I think we all know what satisfies that part of the monkey brain.
The ! is really useful when you forget you need to run the command with sudo.
sudo !!
That’s life changing shit right there.
No thanks. I’ll just press the up arrow -> ctrl-a -> sudo
this is way more intuitive anyway
I like the argument reuse as well via
!:1
and such. A bit more situational but can definitely come in handy
I always just use zsh with oh my zsh. Best of both worlds.
One thing that I still don’t know how to do is go to the next result in the search with Ctrl+r. Makes it less useful lol
Press Ctrl+r and Ctrl+s to cycle through.
Press ctrl+r again. That should get you the next result
In Bash you just hit ctrl+r again, and again, until you found what you’re looking for
This was recently mentioned in another post, but I don’t see it here: fzf make CTRL+R much easier to use. Bonus: in zsh you can start typing a command and then hit the up arrow to show only commands that start the same.
Up arrow all the way!
Ctrl+R just changed everything for me now, thank you
history |grep
CTRL+R is the GOAT.

Ctrl p is the appropriate keystroke to replace the up arrow.

You’re welcome
[opens terminal and hits control-R]
My mind has been expanded. How come no one told me of this before? This surf-and-turfs the fuck out of mashing up.
I use fzf btw
This reminds me of how it works on MS-DOS. I hate it, you have to press right arrow to display the last command character by character. Also, only the last command. It’s so removed.
Haha lol, it censored the word removed
“You are late for job?”
“CTRL+R”
